Wireless sensor networks have rapidly matured in recent years to offer data acquisition capabilities on par with those of traditional tethered data acquisition systems. Entire structural monitoring systems assembled from wireless sensors have proven to be low-cost, easy to install and accurate. However, the functionality of wireless sensors can be further extended to include actuation capabilit...

Magnetorheological (MR) dampers are controlled energy-dissipating devices utilizing smart fluids. They operate in a fast and valveless manner by taking advantage of the rheological properties MR The magnitude response fluids, when subjected to magnetic fields, is sufficient employ them various applications, namely, vibration damping, energy absorption, exoskeletons, etc. At same time, predictin...
